Marvel Enterprise Portal Window
Use this topic to familiarize yourself with the elements of the Marvel Enterprise Portal window.
The Marvel Enterprise Portal window displays information about monitored resources in your enterprise. On the left is the Navigator, which shows the arrangement of your monitored network and allows you to access information collected by different agents on your monitored systems. On the right is a workspace. The workspace can be divided into as many smaller frames, or panes, as you can reasonably fit inside the window. When you select an item in the Navigator, a new workspace opens with a set of views for that item.
- Title bar
- In browser mode, the title bar displays the name of the workspace. In desktop mode, the title bar displays the name of the workspace, the name, and port number of the Marvel Enterprise Portal Server, and the user name. For example, NT Cache Details - mars:14000 - JONDO tells us that the NT Cache Details workspace is open and the user JONDO is connected to the Marvel Enterprise Portal Server named mars through port number 14000.
- Banner
- The banner is displayed when you run the Marvel Enterprise Portal in the browser mode. You can replace it with your own .GIF graphic, such as your company logo.
- Menu bar
- Marvel Enterprise Portal has a menu bar that includes the following four
menus:
Table 1. Menu bar menus Menu Function File The File menu has options for working with workspaces, setting a trace, and exiting the Marvel Enterprise Portal. The Trace Options are used only as instructed by an IBM customer support representative.
Edit The Edit menu has editing options for workspace properties, historical data collection configuration, policies, situations, user IDs, queries, and object groups.
Edit The View menu has options for opening other workspaces for a Navigator item, hiding or showing the toolbars and status bar, refreshing the data in this workspace, turning off sound for events, and for opening other Navigator views.
Help The Help menu opens the Marvel Enterprise Portal Help, a 10-minute tour to give you some hands-on experience, and links to the IBM website.
In browser mode you can also use the browser menu bar, which is displayed just below the title bar.
If your user ID does not have View or Modify permission for a function or does not have Workspace Author Mode permission, you will not see certain items in the menus, including the pop-up menus. For example, if you do not have Workspace Author Mode permission, the Properties menu item is not displayed.
